- the home gateway performs matching processing to check whether the transmitted password or the unique value of IC card matches data in a registered user table stored in memory of the home gateway.
- the access request is authenticated indicating that it is an access request performed by the authorized user having access right. If the authentication is failed, subsequent processing is not performed, and as a result the access request is rejected.
- the home gateway retrieves active terminals connected to the private communication network. In other words, the home gateway retrieves accessible terminals of which power are turned on. As described above, this processing is performed in the following manner: device unique information are received as device unique information from connected terminals of which power are turned on; and terminals having the corresponding unique value are extracted and listed from registered device data.
- the home gateway transmits the generated list, that is to say, the active terminal list to the out-of-home PC that issued the access request.
- the processing covering from the authentication processing to returning this active list is applicable because processing of normal HTTP 1.0 or more can pass through an in-house firewall.
- the out-of-home PC On the out-of-home PC, which has received the active list, the list is viewed on a browser for example to specify an access directory of an access destination terminal, and then an data acquisition request is transmitted to the access destination terminal.
- the intra-home PC which has received the data acquisition request via the home gateway, transmits the corresponding data to the out-of-home PC. As a result, the out-of-home PC can receive the data.
- the above example is described as a configuration in which overall access right to terminals connected to the home gateway is registered in the home gateway.
- the access right registration table can be configured to set accessible users for each individual terminal connected to the private communication network or for each individual directory in one terminal. This enables us to set a range of accessible data for each user who accesses from outside in more detail.
- user A is allowed to access all terminals (from 1 to N) connected to the home gateway; and user B is allowed to access only directory aaa of terminal 1 .
- the home gateway is configured to transmit log data of access requests, which failed in authentication, automatically to the administrator as a message or a mail.
- an authority of a request for processing is higher than the authority that is given to the user, a log including such status is generated and transmitted to the administrator as a message or a mail.
- a data processing engine of the home gateway performs the processing described above. In this connection, data transmission to the administrator may be performed judging from a condition of log accumulation or at the interval of a predetermined period.
- FIG. 9 shows a processing sequence of transferring data to an intra-home terminal (PC) connected to the private communication network including the home gateway.
- PC intra-home terminal
- a request for an active terminal list from an out-of-home PC is transmitted to the intra-home PC as the selected terminal via the home gateway.
- a response that approves the data reception is transmitted to the out-of-home PC.
- upload data is transmitted by a mail using the response as a key, or there is a method by which it is realized as JAVA applet using HTTP.
- the following processing is possible: when a response is transmitted from the intra-home PC, a key for encrypting transmission data is included; and then the out-of-home PC encrypts transmission data using this key before transmitting the data.
- the intra-home PC transmits a public key or a public key certificate to the out-of-home PC, and the out-of-home PC encrypts transmission data using the received public key and transmits it to the intra-home PC.
- the intra-home PC which has received the encrypted data, can decrypt the encrypted data using a secret key that is paired with its own public key.
- a method of encryption processing is not limited to the public key method. It is possible to have a configuration in which encryption processing by means of symmetric key is performed.
- safer data upload can be performed by the following configuration: before transmitting and receiving data between the out-of-home PC and the intra-home PC that perform data transmission and reception, mutual authentication processing by means of public key cryptography or symmetric key cryptography is performed; only when the authentication completes successfully, data transmission from the out-of-home PC is allowed.
- This function provides a reliable access for various communication terminals such as a PC, and a mobile telephone by the following process: registered user's routing address information including the user's (that is, registered user) terminal, mail address, and telephone number is registered in the home gateway; and when another user (retrieving user) contacts to the registered user, a communication-destination of the registered user registered in the home gateway, that is to say, the routing address is extracted.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an outline of this configuration.
- Each of the users has a mail address and can use two or more communication terminals such as a mobile telephone, other than the PC.
- the users A and B register model information of a terminal (such as PC) and routing information (such as a mail address), for each user, in the home gateway 10 .
- a method for registering the information is similar to that of generating active terminal list described above: device unique information from a terminal connected to the home gateway—and from a communication terminal as a non-connected terminal including a mobile telephone and PHS for example—is transmitted to the home gateway as device identification information; and the home gateway extracts the communication terminal having the corresponding unique value from the registered device data to make a table. Generation processing of this table is described in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 11-55625, which is a patent application applied for by the same applicant as that of the present invention. Therefore, the same method can be adopted.
- the retrieving user can obtain a communication-destination of the retrieving user by accessing the home gateway 10 to obtain the registered information of the user condition table.
- HTTP is used as protocol when accessing the home gateway 10 .
- a configuration that uses HTTP browser enables the registered user to display table information of the home gateway in the browser to view communication-destinations of the registered users.
- WAP Wireless Access Protocol
- i-Mode Compact-HTML
- a registering user registers utilized terminal information in the home gateway.
- the information includes model information of a terminal (such as PC) and routing information (such as a mail address, a telephone number), for each user.
- the home gateway registers the information in the user condition table explained using FIG. 11 .
- the information is registered as information of terminals that are active, in other words, capable of communicating.
- the home gateway transmits a response, which indicates the registration completed, to the registration request user.
- the retrieving user who requests communication with the registered user accesses the home gateway, and requests it to retrieve an access destination for accessing the registered user.
- the home gateway obtains meta-information to confirm a terminal ID and a user ID of the user who issues the retrieval request.
- user-agent is available when HTTP is used for example. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the utilized terminal information of the retrieving user is identified by applying CC/PP that is proposed as a structure for describing user or device function using RDF (Resource Description Framework). Or it may be configured to identify the utilized terminal information using a cookie of HTTP. Using P3P enables user identification based on a browser installed in the terminal. In such a manner, the retrieving user or terminal is identified, and then the home gateway provides, according to the terminal used, the retrieving user with the communication-destination information of the registered user, that is, stored data in the user condition table.
- the home gateway provides only specific users with the access destination information for accessing the registered user by issuing an authentication request to the retrieving user.
- This authentication processing can be executed as the following processing for example: identification values of retrieving users to which notification of communication destination is allowed by a registered user are registered in the home gateway; the retrieving user who issued the retrieval request is requested the identification value, which is matched with the registered data.
- a range of access right can be set for each request terminal or each retrieving user, which issued the access request. For example, if access is a mail to PC, the access is allowed; but access to a mobile telephone is not allowed.
- the home gateway holds a log of access requests from retrieving users having no access right as an access history and transmits the log to the registered user, the registered user can know the access situation.
- the user A when user A having a mobile telephone contacts to user B, the user A can access the home gateway using the mobile telephone to obtain access destination information regarding the user B that is registered in the user condition table of the home gateway.
- the user A can telephone or send a mail by one click operation according to the information received from the home gateway making the most of tags used in WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) and i-Mode (Compact-HTML).
- WAP Wireless Access Protocol
- i-Mode Compact-HTML
- the home gateway is configured to have functions of IP address and PPP server to enable accesses from various terminals.
- data communication having advanced functionality is enabled by adding functions of routing information providing processing and authentication processing to a gateway.
- This configuration can prevent unauthorized data writing and reading when a terminal in a local (private) communication network connected to a gateway is accessed from a public communication network such as Internet.
- a configuration that provides an active terminal list and a user condition table enables a person, who issues an access request, to retrieve a desired access destination easily.
